Tender Conspiracy Through Loan Borrowing Company Name in Construction Project in Bogor Regency: Case Study of KPPU Number 15/KPPU-L/2023

Understanding Tender Conspiracy

Tender conspiracy is a form of collaboration between business actors aimed at winning the project tender. In this context, the procurement of goods/services refers to the process carried out by the ministries, institutions, or regional apparatuses financed by the State Budget (APBN) or the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). One of the unethical practices in the procurement is the misuse of company names or borrowing identity between business actors to regulate the winner of the tender. This practice is a serious issue that can lead to unfair competition and harm the integrity of the business competition system.

The Role of KPPU in Enforcing Business Competition Law

The KPPU (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha) is an independent institution responsible for enforcing business competition law in Indonesia. In this case, the KPPU received a report on the construction project to improve the Roda-Pakansari Road in Bogor Regency. The results of the KPPU investigation show that three parties reported, namely Lai Bui Min, PT Lambok Ulina, and PT Tureloto Battu Indah, were proven to have committed violations as regulated in Article 22 of Law No. 5/1999. The practice of borrowing the name of the company in this tender process clearly violates the law and is not allowed.

The Impact of Tender Conspiracy on Business Competition

The practice of borrowing and borrowing the name of the company in the tender not only harms the procurement process, but also damages the integrity of the business competition system. This can result in injustice for business actors who comply with the rules and harm the country due to budget waste. Therefore, the authors argue that important steps need to be taken, including making clear and firm regulations regarding the prohibition of using company names accompanied by appropriate sanctions.

The Importance of Socialization and Collaboration

From a legal perspective, the KPPU's action in establishing this decision shows a commitment to maintain market integrity and encourage business actors to compete in a healthy manner. However, in the future there needs to be an increase in socialization regarding this prohibition so that businesses better understand the legal implications of these harmful practices. In addition, collaboration between the government and the private sector to increase transparency and accountability in the procurement process is also very necessary.

The KPPU's decision number 15/KPPU-L/2023 is a significant case study that highlights the importance of enforcing business competition law in Indonesia. The decision shows that the KPPU is committed to maintaining market integrity and encouraging business actors to compete in a healthy manner. However, the decision also highlights the need for further socialization and collaboration between the government and the private sector to increase transparency and accountability in the procurement process.
